A look at Eastern Scotland's lost and in some cases still extant railway structures and feats of engineering

Falling in love is not the planPolice chief Alex Novak is exactly the kind of man Kristen Lange could fall for—if she were staying in Sparrow Lake. But she can’t fall. And she can’t stay. Moving home was a temporary setback, not a life choice! As soon as she lands a job in Chicago, Kristen will be packing her Manolo shoes and hopping back on the fast track.If she’s going to meet her goals, she can’t afford distractions—or involvement. Not in her aunt’s quilting store, not in her widowed sister’s life, and certainly not with Alex. No matter how intriguing—and determined—he is. No matter what she’s starting to feel.

Not everybody gets a second chance… Back in Sparrow Lake after fifteen years away, and Sam Larson''s already messing with Priscilla Ryan''s life. Saying yes when they were kids and he asked her to be his girl was her biggest mistake. The bad boy rode out of town the next day. She isn''t about to make a second mistake by falling for him again. Getting his dude ranch off the ground is the former rodeo star''s first priority. That, and reconnecting with the quiet girl he took to the prom…the best night of Sam''s life. He has a lot to make up for. And yet he''s keeping his secrets. But when sabotage threatens his business—and one of Priscilla''s nieces—it''s his chance to prove he isn''t the boy he once was.

Preserving nature. Growing love. Can they do both? Grace Huber has no interest in taking over the reins of her father’s successful development company. Instead, she’s busy building a dream of her own: A “green” housing community in Wisconsin’s Sparrow Lake. Educator and conservationist Caleb Blackthorne is not only on the same page, the handsome single father tempts goal-oriented Grace to take time out to smell the flowers. But Caleb’s rebellious teenage daughter keeps throwing obstacles in their path. And when Caleb’s long-gone ex-wife shows up, along with rumors of ghostly sightings that threaten the future of Green Meadows, Grace fears she may lose all the things that matter most to her.
